Alin HabbaTrump’s former lawyer and current provisional US prosecutor for New Jersey, confirmed the arrest on the X. Baraka platform had “troubled and ignored several requests to leave the site,” wrote Habba. “He consciously decided to disregard the law. This is not tolerated in this state. It was taken into custody. Nobody is above the law.”
According to media reports, Baraka was released a few hours later.
As the New York Times reported, Baraka was brought to a facility of the US immigration authority in Newark. The protest was directed against the inclusion of the center, which is to be used as part of a stricter deportation practice.

Congress librarian
She was the first woman and the first African American at the head of the renowned US Congress Library Library of Congress, now Trump has the librarian Carla Hayden dismissed. The President found it “with immediate effect” from her post, as can be seen from an email from the White House to Hayden, which the US Senator Martin Heinrich of the opposition Democrats spread to Washington on Thursday.
For the time being, the library did not comment on dismissal. The congress library in the US capital is considered the largest worldwide, with more than 20 million catalog entries for books, manuscripts, sound and image documents and other media. Hayden has headed the facility since 2016, and her contract was running up to the coming year. It was initially unclear who should follow her.
Criticism of Hayden of right -wing activists
Right activists had accused Hayden of “indoctrining children in the United States with radical sexual ideologies”. A few hours before her discharge, the Trump-related research group American Accountability Foundation explained that Hayden was “Woke, against Trump” and promotes ideas about transpersons in children who do not accept their biologically attributed identity. “It is time to throw them out and set a new one for the job!” Asked the organization.
The minority leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries called Hayden’s dismissal “a shame”. Trump tries to “ban books, to gloss over American history and to turn back time”.
